Hi, I recall a year or so ago, Tomasz saying that he had set up many partitions, like one for the OS, one for apps, another for data, etc. He had many with special purposes. And his point was: 1. With proper setup of partitions, your machine will run much faster than with all the clutter otherwise. 2. With proper setup of partitions, Backing up is a piece of cake.
I have been working on this for the last several weeks but don't have the technical knowledge to adequately test it. I have AB prof 5.00 and have had the prof version since 4.50. Find it very powerful, but have had little time to devote to it until the last few weeks. All I want to do is set up: 4 partitions: 1. OS 2. Apps 3.data 4. Fast data. OS partition: Ms will come out with SP1 on Vista in a couple of years, take an image of the oS partition now and 2 years from now Apps part: Put in the stuff you want now and take an image, if something changes in a year or so, put it in and take another image. Data part: Old data doesn't change. Take and image and relax Fast data part: New data changes daily, but it is a small amount, so image it daily, or hourly for that matter Does anyone know how to do this? I am at the point of thinking it may be fairly easy or even trivial. But haven't enough technical knowledge to test, because I get involved with the registry, which I know nothing about. I won't bother to enumerate the problems, one is to get Outlook data in the data partition. And so on I am using Acronis for imaging, and it is super good. If we had such a structure, it should be fairly easy to get back to explorations, etc. Maybe an image for explorations, and another for indicators, etc. If anyone has ideas on how to better organize all this, please post them.
